Rocket science

Post by iggy1966 »

Sometimes it DOES take a Rocket Scientist!! (True story)











Scientists at Rolls Royce built a gun specifically to launch dead chickens at the windshields of airliners and military jets, all travelling at maximum velocity. The idea was to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl to test the strength of the windshields.



American engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test it on the windshields of their new high-speed trains.



Arrangements were made and a gun was sent to the American engineers. When the gun was fired, the engineers watched in shock as the chicken hurled out of the barrel, crashed into the shatterproof shield, smashed it to smithereens, blasted through the control console, snapped the engineer's back-rest in two and embedded itself in the back wall of the cabin.



The horrified engineers sent Rolls Royce the film of the disastrous results of the experiment, along with the designs of the windshield and begged the British scientists for suggestions.















You're going to love this......























Rolls Royce responded with a one-line memo... "Try Defrosting the chicken first ".
"Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut."

The one I always remember was Neil Armstrong when he was walking on the moon he was heard to say good luck mister Jones. :?



When questioned what is was about he refused to answered and he did this for many years :(

Some years later at a charity dinner when he was a guest speaker he was asked again what it was about

His reply was

“Well it’s been that long now there sure to be dead. Ok when I was a lad my next door neighbour’s window was across from mine on a hot summers night with the windows open I could hear him pleading to his wife to give him a blow job she kept refusing till in the end she was so sick of him asking that she replied yer ok then when a man walks on the moon” hence good luck Mr Jones :D :D :D :D
